Members of the state Legislature, including Arizona's de facto governor, Senate President Russell Pearce, have introduced a bill that essentially would have Arizona secede from the union without having to do so officially.

Really.

It's called SB1433, (See it here.) It creates a 12-member committee within the legislature that could "vote by simple majority to nullify in its entirety a specific federal law or regulation that is outside the scope of the powers delegated by the people to the federal government…"

The OP is bullshit - nullifying specific federal laws or regulations does not equal secession. Arizona residences and businesses will still pay federal taxes, they won't require papers to travel to another state, they will still receive federal aid, they will still allow residency from other states, they will still be under the scope of national defense.

Why not just make all those laws outside the legal framework from the fed illegal by default, can't recall a single fed law that would be still active, kick the fed park out while there at it or make the fed pay taxes to AZ for the land...

I say cut off all federal aid and have every angency leave Arizona. We will see what happens.

They want to secede fine but you must realize it works both ways.

If you want your own rules that is fine you just don't get help from the government to do it.

BS. Tribal governments do what they want and 99% of tribal members are completely dependent upon federal aid. For the rest of AZ, particularly the cities, there'd be a big party if fed aid got cut off because our population of darkies would disappear overnight, which would do a lot for the quality of life there. Maybe we'd better just call federal aid what it really is: ripping off the tax-payers.
